In anticipation of scope problems, the development schedule should be aligned to address the highest priority feature sets and features in early iterations, and defer lower priority feature sets and features to later iterations. To reduce risk around missing a release deadline further, the Requirements Lead should activity defer low priority features from all feature sets to later iterations. This avoids the case of being unable to release a minimally acceptable product because time was spent on low priority features from high priority feature sets when it could have been spent on all individually high priority features across feature sets.
